Çelik, Çiğdem
A video data model that allows efficient and effective representation and querying of spatio-temporal properties of objects has been previously developed. The data model is focused on the semantic content of video streams. Objects, events, activities performed by objects are the main interests of the model. The model supports fuzzy spatial queries including querying spatial relationships between objects and querying the trajectories of objects. In this thesis, this work is used as a basis for the development of an XML-based video database system. This system is aimed to be compliant with the MPEG-7 Multimedia Description Schemes in order to obey a universal standard. The system is implemented using a native XML database management system. Query entrance facilities are enhanced via integrating an NLP interface.

An evolutionary methodology for conceptual design
Güroğlu, Serkan; Erden, Abdülkadir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
The main goal of this thesis is the development of a novel methodology to generate creative solutions at functional level for design tasks without binding solution spaces with designers̕ individual experiences and prejudices. For this purpose, an evolutionary methodology for the conceptual design of engineering products has been proposed. This methodology performs evaluation, combination and modification of the existing solutions repetitively to generate new solution alternatives. Therefore, initially a rep...
Extended Target Tracking Using Polynomials With Applications to Road-Map Estimation
Lundquist, Christian; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-01-01)
This paper presents an extended target tracking framework which uses polynomials in order to model extended objects in the scene of interest from imagery sensor data. State-space models are proposed for the extended objects which enables the use of Kalman filters in tracking. Different methodologies of designing measurement equations are investigated. A general target tracking algorithm that utilizes a specific data association method for the extended targets is presented. The overall algorithm must always ...
A PARALLEL BACKWARD-CHAINING INFERENCE ENGINE FOR PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
ABUSUOD, SM; TOLUN, MR (1992-04-24)
In this paper, a new model to parallelize the backward-chaining inference technique in production systems called ParBack is presented. In this model, the data dependencies between rules are analyzed and then converted to special notations that constitute the search space. Parallelism is exploited in three directions: some processors are dedicated to perform the inference process; other processors perform processes that guide the inference process to the useful paths in the search space; and a third group of...
Single and multi agent real-time path search in dynamic and partially observable environments
Ündeğer, Çağatay; Polat, Faruk; Department of Computer Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, we address the problem of real-time path search in partially observable grid worlds, and propose two single agent and one multi-agent search algorithm. The first algorithm, Real-Time Edge Follow (RTEF), is capable of detecting the closed directions around the agent by analyzing the nearby obstacles, thus avoiding dead-ends in order to reach a static target more effectively. We compared RTEF with a well-known algorithm, Real-Time A* (RTA*) proposed by Korf, and observed significant improvemen...
An intelligent process planning system for prismatic parts using STEP features
Amaitik, Saleh M.; Kilic, S. Engin (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-01-01)
This paper presents an intelligent process planning system using STEP features (ST-FeatCAPP) for prismatic parts. The system maps a STEP AP224 XML data file, without using a complex feature recognition process, and produces the corresponding machining operations to generate the process plan and corresponding STEP-NC in XML format. It carries out several stages of process planning such as operations selection, tool selection, machining parameters determination, machine tools selection and setup planning. A h...
